    Aldi to close all English stores at 3pm on Sunday if we make the final to allow their staff to watch. A really nice touch, especially from a German company

    Bloody love Aldi! Although those till staff must be on some kind of performance enhancing drugs to go that fast

    More likely to prevent staff calling in sick Sunday morning and the store being left severely short staffed.

    For those who dont want to click the link, from that story and another I have read its basically.

    A Russian team doctor has told a German newspaper that the Russian players inhaled Ammonia(a non banned substance) through wet cotton wool balls, this apparently helps improve there oxygen flow
  • that may be the biggest non story so far- 'Russians do something completely legal that loads of others are also doing'. smelling salts have been used since forever in sport, they're huge in America with most NFL players using

    there's no way it's just the Russians doing it at the World Cup

  • Stuck in work - M6 nightmare - everything coming through the A500.

    Looks like a quick bite to eat in the restaurant and watching Belgium/France here. This better not happen tomorrow night!!
  • Who Wants Belgium to win tonight?

    Obviously Extra time and pens but any other thoughts?

  • I want Belgium cos I got them in the sweepstake. I’ll take the 25 quid if we smash ‘em in the final......
  • My two picks at the outset of the World cup.
    The two best teams here.
    The winner of the WC will come from this game.
    Can't split them.
  • Getting nervy already and we got 24 hours yet until the game.
  • Hazard looks bang up for it tonight
  • I have asked a few of my mates - completely split from :

    France - coz wanna spank them in the final!

    To another "mate" who said Miiiillllllwaaaaal....

    Prick !
  • England would be the underdog against either of these teams. But I think Belgium would actually be the more difficult team for them to beat. France has more talent but Belgium seems a more cohesive TEAM.
  • Mbappe, greizman, pogba to have a brawl with courtois, hazard, Dr bruyne and fellani. All sent off and Belgium to win 68-67 in a penalty shootout after an exhausting 0-0 draw full of confidence sapping mistakes.
  • I watched us play France at Wembley in the friendly after the theatre attacks in Paris - and we were a tonne better than them there
  • Lukaku has had 1 touch in the first 20 minutes here... even with all this attacking from belgium so far
  • My two picks at the outset of the World cup.
    The two best teams here.
    The winner of the WC will come from this game.
    Can't split them.

    Just read this- whaaaat?

  • All Belgium so far. Look threatening every time they go forward.
  • This is a cracking game between two attacking sides.
  • Belgium well on top.
  • Great save - French under pressure but great at counter attack as are Belgium - could be a great game...
    So

    0-0 banged on hopefully !!
  • Going with Belgium win here, 2-0
  • After 25 mins these 2 teams do not look nervous that's for sure
  • Anything but

    It would have been absolutely epic to beat Russia in the Semi Final on their own turf. I don’t need to go into the details obviously, but the back story and context of the whole thing would have been unreal.

    There would have been a blizzard and we would have been overpowered by the driving snow and with Moscow all a blazing have lost the bonny bunch of roses oh...
  • Would prefer France to win this I think. The thought of having to face De Bruyne if we make it makes me nervous.
  • @DRAddick Thank God someone has posted.

    Thought I was the only one in the country watching a World Cup semi final and that England were in the other Semi Final

    Thought I had been in a dream for 3 weeks!
